TITLE 22—FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE
§ 1622a
partment of the Treasury, or divest the Secretary of
the Treasury of any functions under the War Claims
Act of 1948, as amended, or under the International
Claims Settlement Act of 1949, as amended. It does not
limit the responsibility of the Secretary of State with
respect to the conduct of foreign affairs. The reorga-
nizations contained in the reorganization plan will not
prejudice any interest or potential interest of any
claimant.
After investigation, I have found and hereby declare
that each reorganization included in the accompanying
reorganization plan is necessary to accomplish one or
more of the purposes set forth in section 2(a) of the Re-
organization Act of 1949, as amended. I have also found
and hereby declare that it is necessary to include in the
accompanying reorganization plan, by reason of reorga-
nizations made thereby, provisions for the appointment
and compensation of officers specified in section 1 of
the plan. The rate of compensation fixed for each of
these officers is that which I have found to prevail in
respect of comparable officers in the executive branch
of the Government.
The statutory citation for certain functions of the
Secretary of State with respect to the International
Claims Commission which are abolished by the reorga-
nization plan, is the third and fourth sentences of sec-
tion 3(c) of the International Claims Settlement Act of
1949 (64 Stat. 13), as amended.
It is at this time impracticable to specify the reduc-
tions of expenditures which it is probable will be
brought about by the taking effect of the reorganiza-
tions contained in the plan.
Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1954 provides a single
agency for the orderly completion of present cla
